[Noob] Problem installing it about hetznerbot HOT 4 CLOSED

Actually I already took it down years ago. There was just a bug in the code that allowed users without usernames to continue using it ;D. Your recent comment just made aware of this bug.

To get better in a linux/programming environment, I would heartily suggest to learn reading error messages. Error messages tell you 95% of the time what the actual problem is.

From there on, it's pretty easy to find out how to fix it.

    × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.
    │ exit code: 1
    ╰─> [1 lines of output]
        ERROR: Can not execute `setup.py` since setuptools is not available in the build environment.
        [end of output]

So it looks like setuptools is not installed on your environment.
There's most likely a python-setuptools package for your distribution, or you could try to add the setuptools package to the pyproject.toml and add it as a dependency.

I actually fixed it.. However, when running just initdb I get this errormessage instead:

poetry run python main.py initdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/ubuntu/hetznerbot/main.py", line 8, in
from hetznerbot.config import config
File "/home/ubuntu/hetznerbot/hetznerbot/config.py", line 32, in
with open(config_path, "w") as file_descriptor:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/ubuntu/.config/hetznerbot.toml'
error: Recipe initdb failed on line 7 with exit code 1

Seems like no config file was created, however, just setup ran without any errors.. :(

Would you maybe be interested in letting me use it for a week or two, for a fee? Or set it up on my VPS for a fee.

Sorry, I already have enough to do on my plate ;)

Try to dig around and learn a bit about python, telegram bots and app development, it's quite interesting!

I'm already providing the code of the project and convenience functions for setting it up, the rest is up to the individuals that want to use it ;)
